there are 4 quarters to a pound
so 3/16 x 4 = 12/16 = 3/4 cups of water
Answer:
1 pound of potting soil has [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pound of potting soil contains [tex]\frac{3}{16}[/tex] cups of water.
So, 1 pound of potting soil will contain [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{16}\times\frac{4}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of water.
